| Additional Information | The South Carolina Public Service Commission (PSC) adopted a simplified interconnection standard for small distributed generation (DG) in December 2006. The standard addresses renewable-energy systems and other forms of DG up to 20 kilowatts (kW) in capacity for residential systems, and up to 100 kW in capacity for non-residential systems. Notably, the standard does not include provisions for three-phase generators. South Carolina's model interconnection standard, which is identical to North Carolina's model interconnection standard, applies to the South Carolina's model interconnection standard applies to three of the state's four investor-owned utilities -- Progress Energy, Duke Energy and South Carolina Electric and Gas. |
